She was born and raised in Philadelphia to Dolores Hughes Boyer Calhoun and Edward Albert Hughes.
Patricia was preceded in death by her eldest sister Delores Hughes. Patricia was the loving sister to her younger siblings, Elias "Dan" Boyer and Debra L. Boyer.
Patty stepped in to assist with raising them due to their mother’s long-term illness. She worked as a CNA at Wood River Village and Right at Home for many years before retirement due to the pandemic.
She was Aunt Patty to all her nieces and nephews: Michael, Melissa, Julisa, Ricky and Samantha. And her great nieces and nephews: Jason, Christopher, Benjamin, Sean, Isabella, Hailey, Dominick, Blake, Ryan, Christian and Aubree, and great, great niece Rosalyn.
She is also survived by many, many beloved cousins that grew up together within a few blocks. Patty would always say how those days were some of the best days of her life.
